Not a good thing to do.

Lastly, without much elaboration, the documents.
I would like to add his disgusting behavior when interviewing, back in 1984, then Vice President Bush.......his questions were un-fair and obviously one-sided of course, but what made me most furious was the rude/snide way in which this "journalist" was asking the questions....
